Hmm, I don't see a reason, why the f17 rpm shouldn't work in f15...
I'm running also on f15, just can't push it there, because the
configuration system changed completely (probably like everything else).
But it would be nice to still get it into f16.....

ipython-dir is the directory, where all configuration files and logs
live now. Not the same like -rcfile.

I think, polybori needs a partly rewrite in that section...

Maybe upstream can help here?
